Letting a friend take my diy 280Ah battery with him on a 1wk trip. I've only used it in my camper on DC items like fans and lights, max discharge is only 16A.
I'd like to set my Overkill BMS to safeguard any craziness that might happen from his camper's inverter, but I can't test it b/c I don't...
Do ya'll have a source for these in the US? I can only find on dhgate, etc... with quantity minimums and long ship times. Hoping to take my 280ah build to/from the camper's battery box each trip. Thanks!

Hey smarty pants! When I joined this forum I thought it was going to be in english :ROFLMAO: I have lots to learn.
I'm positive I have severely damaged my led acid battery by draining it down 20+ times as well as letting it freeze 10+ times. After watching a few of Will's videos I have...
